Mud Dobbers

[rvaitor]

This is my issue with the dirt dobbers(never been stung by one either). They got in every one of my spray rig nozzles. I took the heads off to keep them from gumming up. Had to take them all(18) off and dig out and completely clean.

we used about a 1 to 5 ratio of dish washing soap to water. It does not kill them right away, takes about 30 seconds to knock one down.

As I duck and run from the safety police - gasoline instantly kills wasps and hornets. Much faster than the sprays. It permeates their airways and overwhelms their metabolism instantly.
